The Bug Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brakes
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
[Chorus]
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
Groovy
(Groovy)
(Groovy)
[Verse 2]
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know bad
When you're rippin' and a-ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start a-slippin' and a-slidin'
And it all go wrong, because
Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brakes
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
[Chorus]
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
Groovy
(Groovy)
(Groovy)
[Verse 2]
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know bad
When you're rippin' and a-ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start a-slippin' and a-slidin'
And it all go wrong, because
[Chorus]
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
Groovy
(Groovy)
And again, groovy
(Groovy)
Right now
[Verse 3]
One day you got the glory, then you got none
One day you're a diamond and then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good time roll before we say goodbye
[Chorus]
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug, yeah
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger, baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
I said
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
Groovy
(Groovy)
And again, groovy
(Groovy)
Right now
[Verse 3]
One day you got the glory, then you got none
One day you're a diamond and then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good time roll before we say goodbye
[Chorus]
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug, yeah
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger, baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime you're gonna lose it all
I said
Sometime-a you're the windshield
Sometime-a you're the bug
Sometime it all come together baby
Sometime-a you're a fool in love
Sometime-a you're the Louisville Slugger, baby
Sometime-a you're the ball
Sometime it all come together baby

This song is about the precision, and ultimately frustration that are always involved with love- the “game” referenced in line one of the song. Even though at one instant you’re “in the groove,” the next, you could “lose it all.”
